I may be remembering this wrong, but i would swear there was a study awhile back that Rock Stars actually do have a higher death rate than your average bear. And almost all of the difference in the study was explained by hard drugs (including alcohol) and small planes.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Our wings are not tired.
The only plane I have ever flown had 2 seats. Just me and the instructor. The plane my son's friend flies is just 4 seats. They live in a tiny airstrip community where their garage is a hanger. We have tons of people here that own small planes. There is an itty bitty airport just a mile from my house. (well only for tiny planes except the Goodyear Blimp which parks there in a bigass hanger)
eta: indeed dcp!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The "little" airport near my house has lots of private jets that fly in and out, lots of them. Loud, esp near my kids' old school.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Snowquester has left mec with no power. It's cold. I want to watch tv. Sadface.

researchers are finding hidden side effects of drug interactions by studying web searches.
That's really neat!
I told the annoying coworker I didn't want to have dinner with her and her friend (because omg if I heard her hack and cough one more time...apparently not because she's sick, but her sinuses drain??). Ugh. Instead I am getting crepes. Yum.

What is this chocolate tea of which you speak? I'll bet the tea place around the corner just closed.
David's Tea. The ones I've tried so far are salted caramel, chocolate chili chai, chocolate orange, read my lips, love tea #7, and spiced carob. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, I don't know what gave you that idea.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
David's Tea.
Hm. The green room here is surprisingly devoid of tea. I probably should keep some in my desk.
Air is bumpy, yo!
Ha! Yep. I've only been a passenger but yeah, feeling the bumps is actually comforting to me. Kind of like I'd rather be on a rickety wooden ladder than a mechanical lift because I can tell what is happening when the ladder sways.
If I had a bucket list, hang-gliding would be on it. I'd really like to experience flight without motor noise. Not sky-diving though. That's just falling and I try to avoid that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
My rule: Why jump out of a perfectly good plane?
Not a fan of turbulence, but I'm more comfortable with it than I was years ago. I do not like the sensation of the bottom dropping out of my stomach.
